Being in the Zone
Tập 30 Số 4 - Trang 465-510 - 2001
Experiential consumption is a topic of growing interest in the social scientific
and managerial literatures. While consumer experience is profoundly shaped by
the built environment, a critical eye has been cast on the oppressive nature of
themed environments. While offering multisensory sensual opportunities, themed
retail environments cater primarily to the visual impulse and have been
theorized ...
MAKING MAGIC CONSUMPTION
Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 33-68 - 1999
Recourse to magic is a universal strategy for trying to resolve intractable
social problems. Within the context of white-water river rafting, the authors
illustrate the conjunction of elements (condition of the performer, rite, and
formula) that make magical experience possible in a constructed consumption
setting. They show how “river magic,” like all magic, concerns itself with the
relationship ...
THE MANAGEMENT OF STIGMA BY ALZHEIMER FAMILY CAREGIVERS
Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 263-284 - 1991
This article explores family caregivers' management of the courtesy stigma
acquired in the course of their relationship with a family member suffering from
the progressive deterioration of Alzheimer's disease. Caregivers' accounts from
in-depth interviews and from support group meetings suggest that stigma
management by the Alzheimer caregiver moves through two distinct phases: the
first marked by...
Legitimated Oppression
Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 143-168 - 2009
This article explores the gang suppression model and how it becomes practiced in
the profiling and interactions between police and inner-city Mexican Americans.
I conducted this research formally over five years in two southwestern
cities—Denver, Colorado, and Ogden, Utah—and informally for fourteen years by
the researcher's experience as an ex-gang member. I suggest that stereotyping
Mexican Amer...
“If I Don’t Have to Work Anymore,Who Am I?”: Job Loss and Collaborative Self-Concept Repair
Tập 38 Số 5 - Trang 547-583 - 2009
Previous research on unemployment among managers and professionals has
documented the experience of job loss as stressful because of both economic
strain and the damage it does to valued identities and self-conceptions. Little
research, however, has examined the processes through which displaced workers
collectively attempt to repair this damage. Data from participant observation in
four support g...
Negotiating Closed Doors and Constraining Deadlines: The Potential of Visual Ethnography to Effectually Explore Private and Public Spaces of Motherhood and Parenting
Tập 47 Số 6 - Trang 758-781 - 2018
Pregnancy and motherhood are increasingly subjected to surveillance by medical
professionals, the media, and the general public, and discourses of ideal
parenting are propagated alongside an admonishment of the perceived “failing”
maternal subject. However, despite this scrutiny, the mundane activities of
parenting are often impervious to ethnographic forms of inquiry. Challenges for
ethnographic ...
THE RECONSTRUCTION OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 244-269 - 1995
This is an ethnographic account based on interviews collected from people who
rebuilt their lives after the devastation caused by Hurricane Andrew in August
1992 in Dade County, Florida. Three themes describe the recovery period: a time
out from everyday life, life in “the zone,” and living between two worlds. Time
out from everyday life is the initial postdisaster phase and describes the
problems...
Space, Heterogeneity, and Everyday Life
Tập 43 Số 5 - Trang 527-555 - 2014
This article examines the relations between the characteristics of a space and
the phenomenology of its residents, as well as the unique influence of the space
on the social relations and the actions undertaken by the individuals and groups
in it. It is based on ethnographies and in-depth interviews conducted at the
Israeli ultra-orthodox town of Immanuel, which made the headlines on account of
th...
